Part of Women and Equalities – in the House of Commons at on 24 November 2021.
Maria Caulfield
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Health and Social Care
Maternity care is a top priority for this Government, and we are making progress. Since 2010, we have seen a 25% reduction in stillbirths and a 29% reduction in neonatal mortality. On the new maternity unit at Tameside, I understand that the Acorn birth centre opened last year and has been well received locally, but I am happy to discuss further improvements with my hon. Friend.
